  • Baby girl pulled alive from Gaza rubble after Israeli air strike

    Baby girl pulled alive from Gaza rubble after Israeli air strike

    In a remarkable rescue operation in Rafah, southern Gaza, rescuers pulled a baby girl named Mariam Abu Akel alive from the rubble following an Israeli air strike.

    People on the scene used their hands to free Mariam from the debris, and a rescuer swiftly transported her to a nearby hospital, where doctors attended to her cuts.

    Tragically, Mariam had been sheltering in a house with her family during the air strike, which claimed the lives of her mother and sister. Fortunately, her father and young brother survived the incident.

    The same air strike resulted in the death of 20 people and left 55 others injured, according to a spokesperson from the Hamas-run health ministry.

    The ongoing conflict has led to more than 21,500 casualties, predominantly children and women, in Israeli retaliatory attacks on Gaza.

    Many are still believed to be trapped under the wreckage of buildings destroyed by air and artillery strikes.

    Israel initiated its military campaign in Gaza in response to a Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7, causing widespread casualties and hostage situations.

  • Baby discovered dead on dumpsite by scrap dealer

    Baby discovered dead on dumpsite by scrap dealer

    During his search for electronic waste products, a scrap dealer came across an unexpected find—a newborn baby girl.

    The baby was found by the unidentified scrap dealer just before sunset on Thursday, July 06, 2023, while combing through the rubbish in search of valuables for his trade.

    Residents of the Koforidua suburb of Anlo Town in the Eastern Region were thrown into a state of shock following the bizarre discovery in the popular refuse container next to a public toilet.

    Assemblyman for the Anlo Town Electoral Area, Abu Amadu speaking in an interview said the scrap dealer narrated to him that he saw a young lady throwing a black polythene bag into the refuse container but did not suspect any foul play.

    He continued that about an hour later, he stepped into the container in search of scraps only to notice a black polythene bag.

    Upon opening it and to his shock, he found a newborn baby girl wrapped in the bag dead.

    The shocked dealer then raised an alarm which drew the attention of nearby residents to the scene who subsequently reported the issue to him.

    According to the Assemblyman, the scrap dealer could not identify the suspect since he did not reside in the area.

    Mr. Amadu subsequently reported the discovery to the police at the Koforidua Central police station who arrived to inspect the dump site, finding inside the dead baby wrapped.

    The remains of the deceased infant have since been conveyed to and deposited at the morgue of the Eastern Regional Hospital for preservation and autopsy as police commence investigations into the incident to arrest the perpetrator of the heinous crime.
